With COP26 taking place this month, our impact on our environment and ensuring we are a sustainable and forward-thinking business is high on everyone’s agenda. With big efforts being made to reduce our CO2 emissions through identifying alternative delivery methods and to use alternative fuels publicly shared, we have smaller initiatives internally where big steps are being made to be green at Yodel. We spoke to Gemma Downey, Head of Network Support Services about the efforts being made across our operational sites.
